Research interests
Scientific interests: influence on bioenergetic processes in mitochondria of stress factors of internal and external environment (catecholamines, immobilization stress, nitrates / nitrites, ionizing radiation, hypoxia, etc.); ionic and bioenergetic mechanisms in the heart and methods of their normalization in case of diabetes and myocardial ischemia; bioenergetics of cancer cells; use of nuclear magnetic resonance in the study of cellular mechanisms of hyperthermia and chemotherapy on cancer cells; energy processes in cancer and normal cells for the action of potentially chemotherapeutic substances. For the first time he expressed and substantiated in co-authorship with others. the hypothesis about the existence of a functional system of catecholamines – amber acid – ATP – cAMP, which became the basis of the theory of hormonal-substrate-nucleotide systems of regulation of energy processes.
